    Assuming you have a carbine length gas system and a fixed front sight, you'd need a 7" rail. If you use a lo-profile gas block, or are willing to shave down your FSB, you could use any length, but I imagine the 11" would be the most popular. However, not knowing your particular rifle, I'm hesitant to make any solid recommendation.

    I'll also qualify that I haven't used one of these Troy handguards yet, but they are appearing among a number of lightweight builds that keep tempting me...
    Yes it's a carbine with a fixed front sight base. I may order the 7 inch.

    Thanks.

    Couple of questions for the crowd as to the Vtac/JP tubes, I`m putting them here because it looks like the proper tread and are related to the general questions asked here...

    An earlier tread down in the comp section, stated that the tubes would not stand for a full load of manly accessories, not planning to run that, but in the boards opinion/experience would it be feasible to run a VFG/light and bipod without suffering ??

    I`m a rather tight gripper on the VFG, running a LaRue fug in the short config on my issue 416, and normally having the little and ringfinger on the fug (if that explanation makes any sense).

    I have two uppers that I forsee will be run as similiar in set up as possible (muscle memory and all that), a "SPRish" 18,5" and a 16" that are without any bells and whistles for the moment.

    Today the SPRish upper sports a horrible YMH forend and the 16" has the OEM FF tube.

    Both are the dreaded BMs V match model, but thats what I can get hold of over here and better to have than to have not...

    Most assuredly they are. They are very strong. I'll try and post up some pics of some setups I've built.

    I really like mine

    I run the rifle length on one of my guns. It's excellent kit, IMO. It WILL take a fair bit of accessory weight if installed correctly, but that *might* defeat the purpose of having such a slick forend. YMMV. I DO NOT have a VFG on that rifle.

    Pros-

    1- slick look and feel
    2- very solid setup once it's one
    3- retains some modularity
    4- cheaper than PRI

    Cons-

    1- not as light as DD Omegas, at least I think they are not...
    2- attaching rail sections is often a PITA

    I give it 9 thumbs up!

    I have one, not yet installed on my LMT because I can't seem to get my upper and lower back from refinishing. It's a really nice piece. Luckily I have an extra spikes tac lower so I might just get a new upper and begin the build with that.
